Wavesfactory releases Old Tape Piano for Kontakt

Wavesfactory has released Old Tape Piano, a sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt.

Always wanted to sample a grand piano, but what’s the point? The market is oversaturated of piano libraries, and making another one is pointless unless you make it differently. We sampled a grand piano in mono using a low quality cassette recorder. When I say “low quality” I mean “very low quality”. Unlike other libraries availabe, the piano used was new and tuned, just the recorder was old.

Old Tape Piano features

Grand Piano, 88 keys, recorded directly into cassette tape.

Mono WAV files 44.1 kHz 24 bits, 861 Mb installed.

Recorded in mono with 8 velocity layers.

Flutter, natural saturation and compression.

Noise reduction applied, noise file attached.

Full version of Kontakt 3.5 or superior required. Kontakt Player will run in demo mode.
